HIROKI Junmai Ginjo Black Label
We had a sushi dinner party at the office, and after much agonizing over which sake would go best with sushi, we settled on Tobiroki's Black Label.
Not too sweet, elegant and juicy. It's still delicious! It goes well with sushi!
(Sorry, I'm an Aizu fan!)
BLACK HIROKI✨
Tobiroki is not so easy to find in Tokai.
I'll have to get it when I can ✨.
It's still a versatile all-around food sake 😋.
I was just thinking that, but then I came across a bottle of Tokujun yesterday 🤣.
Timing is a bitch 🤣.
I've had it for a year and it's delicious 🤤.
I drank Ni-Rabbit before this, but it doesn't taste the same.
Ni-Rabbit is of course delicious as Ni-Rabbit, but
Opened at a birthday party.
I stocked up for that.
I have sent Tobiroki as a gift to others, but this is the first time to drink it by myself.
Immediately after opening the package
It was just an easy-drinking sake, but
The second day
The flavor was so much better than before.
It was a twice delicious sake.

Aftertaste: Clear. Slightly bitter, pleasant aftertaste.
Impression: Mild, mellow, dry
We received a rare sake.
The aroma is modest, but it has a refreshing fruity aroma.
It seems that Hiroki uses Yamadanishiki for the koji rice and Yumenokou for the kake rice, which is rather major.
The taste is very beautiful with a refined balance of sugar and acidity and a mellow flavor.
It has a good sharpness and is easy to pair with meals, so it was gone in no time at all.
